[edit] Kenneth Kendall and Angela Rippon: journalists?

became a presenter of the Nine O'Clock News in the early 1980s when it started to be presented by journalists, rather than the likes of Kenneth Kendall and Angela Rippon. (deletion by User:Pigsonthewing "Kendall and Rippon are both journalists")

If Kenneth Kendall or Angela Rippon were journalists there's no evidence of that at the respective articles. Flapdragon 22:03, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Er, both their articles describe them as such. Andy Mabbett 22:05, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, I can see that. I was asking whether there was any evidence to back up that description. I see from the Web (but not Wikipedia) that Rippon did indeed do some journalism before becoming a newsreader, but in the case of Kendall the article specifically says he went straight from the army to newsreading -- which hardly makes him a journalist.
